Kanban-musume no longer on shelves?

Kanban-musume
(燗番娘: missy in charge of sake warming, literally) from Fukumusume Shuzo
is sake packaged in a can, and this can is a self-heating container allowing
sake drinkers to easily enjoy drinking warmed sake without any special sake
heating device anytime and anywhere.

This is an
interesting product, and I wanted to introduce this sake worldwide by making
and uploading the movie below. In spite of my effort, I don't lately see this
product in liquor shops. Have they discontinued making and selling this
product? Is the sake longer on shelves?
